So, for instance, if iso-8859-2 characters arrive at Emacs with UTF8_STRING, they are decoded into the charset mule-unicode-0100-24ff and treated differently (e.g. in searching) than the characters of the charset iso-8859-2. Can you draw up something for us to send to the GTK people to request a specific feature that we need?
